The Bully Pulpit: A Teddy Roosevelt Book of Quotations - Paperback

by H. Paul Jeffers (Author)

President Theodore Roosevelt left his mark on every facet of American life, including, quite colorfully, its language. Here, in a single volume, are not only his best "Teddyisms"-"hyphenated America," "muckraker," "the square deal," "the lunatic fringe," "good to the last drop," and many others-and lost words, but also the best of Roosevelt's most memorable quotations, which serve to illuminate every area of our culture: Americans; boxing; citizenship; conservation; courage; death; democracy; extremists; family values; football; government; heroism; history; hunting; leadership; liberty; patriotism; power; religion; war and peace; winning; women's rights; and much more.
